InstructionDisclaimer
Dennis Kirk provides instructions to help our customers better understand how to install the
products we sell. The instructions are exact copies of what the manufacturer includes with the
product being sold.
That means the quality and accuracy of the instructions is solely dependent on what the
manufacturer produces. We do our best to make the text legible and the pictures viewable.
However, the end result depends largely on the quality of instructions the manufacturer
provides.
Therefore, you will find that some instructions are not of the highest quality. Sometimes text is
hard to read and pictures are not easy to see. At times you will find the overall look of the
instructions to be less than professional. However, we feel it is better to provide what we have
rather than provide nothing at all.
To the best of our knowledge the instructions and application information contained in the
instructions is accurate. However, Dennis Kirk assumes no liability related to any errors that
may be contained in the copy of the manufacturer’s instructions we provide. Buyers are solely
responsible to insure that product use is consistent with their application.
If you have any questions please contact us at customerservice@denniskirk.com
or
800-969-7501 so we can further assist you regarding additional product information or any other
business related questions.
Thank you for doing business with Dennis Kirk.

    Why does my KFI SE25 only run one way?

      Mercedes SheaJul 29, 2025
      If your KFI Winches only runs in one direction, the issue might stem from a defective or stuck contactor. Try tapping the contactor to loosen the plungers. If that doesn't work, you may need to repair or replace the contactor. Another potential cause is a defective switch assembly, which would require replacement. Also, double check your winch wiring diagram to ensure all wires are correctly connected.

      If you hear the contactor clicking but your KFI Winches isn't running, it could be due to several reasons. First, double-check your winch wiring diagram to ensure all wires are correctly connected. Also, make sure that hand remote / dash rocker wires are properly connected: green to green and black to black.

      If your KFI Winches motor runs slowly or lacks its usual power, check for worn brushes and consider getting a replacement End-Cap #A-CAPKIT. Also, inspect all cable connections for looseness or corrosion; clean, tighten, or replace them as needed.

      If the motor of your KFI Winches is running, but the cable isn't moving, ensure the winch is engaged by rotating the clutch cap to the “engage” position. Another possible cause is a broken coupler or stripped shaft, which would require you to replace the coupler or shaft.
